However, the People’s Conference led by Sajad Gani Lone, which is seen as an ally of the BJP, accused the National Conference of offering sanctity to the delimitation train after its MPs participated within the deliberations of the fee.

Redrawing the electoral map of Jammu and Kashmir, a three-member Delimitation Commission on Thursday earmarked 47 meeting seats for Kashmir division and 43 for Jammu in its last order submitted only a day earlier than its two-year tenure was to finish.

A gazette notification was issued after the panel, headed by retired Supreme Court decide Ranjana Prakash Desai, signed the ultimate order giving Jammu six further seats and yet one more to Kashmir.

“We have seen the final recommendations of the Delimitation Commission. We are studying the implications of these recommendations for individual assembly constituencies. No amount of gerrymandering will change the ground reality which is that whenever elections are held the voter will punish the BJP & its proxies for what they have done to J&K over the last 4 years,” the National Conference tweeted.

However, the People’s Conference mentioned the delimitation report is a repeat of the previous and accused the NC of offering sanctity to the delimitation train.

“Same traditional entities are calling the shots behind the scenes. Kashmir has been discriminated against as in the past. No change. Only degree of disempowerment is greater,” the celebration mentioned in an announcement posted on Twitter.

Over the final six a long time, Kashmir’s share of meeting seats within the J-Okay meeting elevated from 43 to 47, whereas Jammu’s share rose from 30 to 43. Who is chargeable for systematic disempowerment of Kashmiris from 1947, it requested.

“Those who aided and abetted in the journey from Jammu’s 30 to 37 are the ones who aided and abetted from 37 to 43. Wish Kashmiri parties had stayed away and not diluted the stigma associated with a people-less process. Hope Kashmiris will remember the parties who associated themselves with delimitation process which was in essential a tool for disempowerment will always be in wonderment. How could a party which associated itself with the delimitation process be so audacious. They actually had the nerve of submitting one memorandum in Kashmir and a separate memorandum in Jammu. Ironically the memorandums were contradictory,” the People’s Conference mentioned “The Jammu one seemed to have been copy-pasted from the Hindutva brigade,” it added.

The celebration mentioned it should go for an RTI and search the video recordings of the conferences.

“How those who started beating their chests outside the meeting halls were bending their back backwards to appease and please the members of the delimitation commission. Financial scams indulged in – during the last few decades cannot be squared off by covertly facilitating disempowerment of the Kashmiris. How stupid we were. We couldn’t see through the game plan. The raids. The EDs. It was all a game. A trade-off. They again bartered away the Kashmiris. The barterers are the same. When will this change,” it mentioned.

The celebration mentioned it doesn’t declare that the result of the train would have been any totally different if there was no participation of the National Conference. “But the process would not enjoy the sanctity that they enjoy now.”
